TAKING FRENCH BACHELORS
ST. Paul Globe.

The imposition of a tax on bachelors
by the French government brings out
the fact that there are 100000 unmar-
ried men IN Paris, against $4,000 mar
ried men. These figures are rather
startling. An excess of 40, 600 unmar-
ried men over the married in one city
is "a menace to the family relation. OF
course, i'll this calculation there are in
cluded a number of young men who
will marry. Of the 100000 unmarried
women proportion will find husbands.
But after the proper reduction is made
in the number of both sexes who may
yet enter the married state, the pro-
portion of unmarried is larger than
is consistent with the well-being Of
society. Bachelors are therefore a
proper subject for taxation.

Mr.. Editor.-It is full time Opelousas
had IL f" Boom The booming business
bids fair to become general throughout
the South and Opelousas has many
natural advantages that other boom
ingn places do not possess.
1t is in the midst of an agricultural
section of country, is elevated and has
a fine natural drainage.
1t is one of the most healthful lOca-
tons in the world and would be most
suitable place for one or more of the
numerous enterprises OF which the
whole South is now so much in need.
What Opelousas needs is not paper
Boom that will cause a passing ripple
but a substantial one based upon a
substantial foundation. Her business
men should meet and take measures to
build Rice Mill, an Oil Mill and Cot
ton Compress. They shonld then in
vite capitalists to build RAILROAD from
Opelousas, East, to the AtcEIafalaya
River, which wonid give us other com
municatiou with the world. This
would encourage the growth of Facto-
ries and other enterprises that would
make our Southern country blossom
like the Rose. LOUISIANA.

ORGANIZE.


opposed to the discussion of the guber-
material questfonsso early. This is very
natural. That faction is organized
and intrenched; it is on the defensive
1t does not want to be attacked. 1t
wants the opposition, which is really i'll
the majority, to remain without organ
ization till the last moment, when by
itsscompact organization, and by skill
full management it will expect to gain
the victory over the unorganiZed ma
jolity. Before, Nichols was not a can
didate. and would not be a candidate,
and the opposition to the McEnery fac
fion was not organized. But now he
is candidate, and everybody should
know it. The entire opposition to the
administration should centre on him,
and organize in his support. The ex-
cesses and shortcomings of the present
administration have been repeated
time and again if it be allowed another
lease OF power for four years, it will
probably do worse than ever-political
rings do rot became better by remain
ing in power. The people can expect
no improvement in the affairs of the
State, without radical change in the
administration. The agencies which
set up, and control the administration,
are still at work.; and another one from
the same source, would probably be
worse even than the present. A change
cannot be worse, and will necessarily
be better. Let there be organization
therefore, to accomplish that change
which the great body of non -otficehold
ing, but taXpaying citizens of the State
SO earnestly desire.
The police jury printing of Iberia
parish, has again been awarded to the
Enterprise of that place, the publica
lions being done gratis, while the job
printing will be done for ii consdera-
tiop of S10'-so the Enterprise an
nounces. We regard running paper
on such terms suicidal. The Enter
prise had better let its rival have the
work for a consideration, rather than
do it for nothing. Such willingness to
work for nothing encourages the pub
lie to believe that a paper needs no
pecaniary support. 1t would look bet
ter if police jules would give parish
papers a reasonable bonus every year,
where it is actually needed, rather
than half starved paper should work
for nothing. If the Enterprise makes
more money than it needs, it has the
advantage of most of the other coun-
try papers in Louisiana. The police
jury of rCalcasieu wisely let out the
police jury printing of that parish to
both papers there, and pays both at
half rates, or divides the appropriation |
for printing between them. 1t is Il
very poor parish that does not have one |
or more papers, and it is not becoming
an community to starve out its paper |
ThetCearthouse is beginning to look
well inside as well as outside. Mr..
Harmon seems to be exceeding the re-
Auirements of the plan, which called !
for washboard merely in the roems.
A washboard would not protect the
which everyone knows
would soon be defaced and broken by
persons leaning against it in chairs, and
from other causes. Instead of wash
board, SIr.tHannon is putting up nice
wailiascoting Us hig2, as persons shout
aers.; which is much better. and the
abeve is out of danger.
